The Guardian | 2009
The idea for the Guardian came from several sources, adapted to fit what I had in mind: Ravens have been attributed throughout history with many things, and according to some are the creatures that carry our souls from this world to the next. There's also a well-known legend surrounding the Ravens of the Tower of London: Should the Ravens ever leave, "the White Tower will fall, and with it the Empire". To this day, 6 Ravens are kept at the Tower, protected by their Keeper, and if necessary by force. One might argue who's the guardian, and wh the guarded... The katana is another symbol for the soul or spirit, namely of the man carrying it, as it is said to be a vessel of or for the warrior's strength and spirit.
